Does this just impact ads shown on the site, or does it also cut down on data collection and targeting that occurs when you browse to third party sites who happen to include javascript from Facebook?
How's this technique compare to just staying logged out of Facebook? Or using it solely in a sandboxed browsing environment?
- GeoHubToday 2y agoEven if you stay logged out, your data is collected from your mobile devices. And even if you brick your devices and pull the battery, your data is collected by other people's mobile devices. It all runs to data brokers in the end, and that data has a reliance on Facebook for additional refinement. This technique impacts that refinement step.

- lioeters 2y agoFor others like me who hadn't heard of IoB. > IoB (Internet of Behavior) as an extension of the IoT, which focuses on capturing, processing, and analyzing the “digital dust” in people’s daily lives. The term ”digital dust” is a good metaphor for the traces that users leave behind in their Internet activities. As the collection of digital dust from everyday life increases, including data that spans both the digital and physical worlds, information can in turn influence users’ behaviors.
